Article 3. Publication of California Water Code >> Division 13. >> Part 2. >> Chapter 1. >> Article 3.

The clerk of the board shall cause a notice to be published at least once a week for three successive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation published in each affected county. The notice shall state each of the following:
  (a) That the petition has been presented to the board.
  (b) The time and place for the hearing.
  (c) The text of the petition.
  (d) The names signed to the petition.

The first publication of the notice shall be at least 21 days before the day set for the hearing. If at the hearing it appears that the notice is defective in any material respect, the board shall set another time for the hearing and cause notice again to be published.

No clerical error in the published text of the petition and no error or omission in the publication of the names attached to the petition invalidates any action on the petition or deprives the board of jurisdiction to proceed in the matter.
